For windows users: Colors works only in PowerShell

6: Complex is better than complicated.
7: Flat is better than nested.
8: Sparse is better than dense.
17: Now is better than never.

14: {"python.txt", "better", []int{3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 17, 18}},

fm, err := s.ScanFile("./main.go")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
if fm != nil {
for _, m := range fm.Matches {
fmt.Printf("Line: %d, Text: %s\n", m.Line, m.Text)
